"Say Hello to Heaven"

Yes, I know her very Well
A Friend among pseudo-Friends
My family in a forgotten Place
A Hand when no one raised a Finger
I'm at a loss for Words
How selfish am I
When all I have for you now are my Tears
How worthless is That
You know in my thoughts you will always Stay
Young and Pretty
Unique
A laugh that fills our Hearts
A Lighthouse
Guiding us all In
Honestly, I have never been so Confused
Words are Meaningless
Not Enough
You are Gone
My friend, you Are
My friend, you will always Be
Vulnerable, you left Us
It may all come collapsing Down
It has already done That
My friend, gone Forever
Free of ailments of Body
First to roam the Heavens
An Angel among Angels
At His side, Rest
My Friend,
You will Be
Never Forgotten
Never a Shadow
Never a Conflict
Never Misery
Never the Same
My Friend,
All the Memories
And the Tears
Forever a Void
Forever in my Heart
My Friend,
We never said Goodbye
I will miss you Dearly
My Friend,
Maya

Fight on for Annandale

"...If you see someone pointing a gun at you, you would do something about it, so I dont see what the big fuss about pre-emptive war is..."
The big fuss you arrogant ass is that no one else sees what your hallucinating eyes saw.

Get music codes at Bolt.

"...This is our system of legal corruption..."
You know intertwining economics and politics is just as bad as feeding religion into politics.

"...Every generation has its heroes and this one is no different..."
As long as you have a high school diploma and you can control the keypad of a playstation, you should be able to kill a man.

"...One team, one mission, one goal.."
All these benefits if you serve your country.

"...There is a huge separation between the military and the middle class, and the upper middle class more than during the draft era..."
I guess they asked for it, right, I mean they volunteered.

"...It is quite an experience for a 21 year old kid, you are involved in taking peoples lives, it is almost like they are not human beings from the view of a helicopter, they look like pegs, like objects. Like objects..."
Well if the bugle sounds, you go I guess, right, you go, that's how it works!

"...We have a new phenomenon called the military industrial complex..."
The Project for a New American Century.

"...If you join the military now, you are not defending the United States of America, you are defending the imperialistic goals of a few..."
Patriotism.

President Bush was in the midst of explaining how the attacks of 9/11 inspired his “freedom agenda” and the attacks on Iraq until a reporter, Ken Herman of Fox News, interrupted to ask what Iraq had to do with 9/11. “Nothing,” Bush defiantly answered. Nothing.

"...D. Eisenhower, the father of the militaristic, imperialistic society of the present day United States, said the following; In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist..."
Sometimes you fear what you create.

655,000 civilians died in Iraq since March 19, 2003.
Seems like smart weapons are just C students as well.
Let's all call it Operation Iraqi Freedom. The liberation with weapons of mass destruction. Free at last, free at last, free of all of its native citizens at last. The evil will perish, and only the good will prevail. Only the just remain to bring more justice for all.

It seems easy to lead a country to war, but it is very difficult to STOP.

Amen.
